California!

New Port Beach is amazing, beautiful ritzy!  I loved the architechture!  It was so much fun just taking it all in, looking at everything, and taking photos! Josh used to work for a family that owns a home and a yacth in  New Port Beach, so we took a drive down and visited them!
The boys walking down to the little boat that Josh took us on a tour around the lake in!
Josh tried to jump the fence and in the process he unlocked the door... it was very entertaining and comical!
The water was beautiful and it was a beautiful springy day in December, lol! This is Josh's stomping grounds
A restaurant lounge where Josh goes a lot.  Its a pretty fancy place.  We stopped in for a bit to use the restroom and get something to drink!
brothers!!!!!  and my shoes!  I looooove walking bearfoot on the sand!!! and it was so amazing the feel of it in my toes, the smell of the ocean!  Surprisingly it was pretty empty!


I loved the palm trees, i miss them still! I wanted to take some home with me!!!  I love you palm trees!

Stopping at a beautiful beach in Newport Beach to eat some tasty Inn and Out  Burger!  Thanks to Josh and our recently stolen Tom Tom for finding the Inn and out burger!!!


I could not take enough photos of the beach and California, the sun the beach, the sky, it was so picturesque!

These photos are wayyyy over due, from our December trip from Cali!  Man computer issues are a HUGE pain in the butt for a photographer, let alone a blogger... or someone who likes to just to keep her family and friends updated!!!  GRR!  I just have a lot of catching up to do!  We had  a fun 10 day trip driving back and forth from LA to New Port Beach the first week of December this past year!  We visited Caleb's big brother Josh, and my long time good friend Caitlin.  It was soo soo good to see her!  I have not seen her in years, as well it was good to see Josh.  Cait took us to Disney and it was my first time going to Disney Land, since I've been to Disney world already!  And if you  know me I AM A HUGE DISNEY FAN!!!!  Yeah!  It was my favorite day!  We toured New Port Beach, did the whole Inn and Out Burger thing twice, drove through Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive, and went to Venice Beach as well as Santa Monica... we drove through night time Christmas lights in caits convertible.... in the winter!!!! We had dinner with another friend of mine from High school Daina!!!  Um, dinner at a Thai food restaurant.  Josh made us breakfast a few times (he's a pretty good cook!)  We also had dinner at Caleb's great Aunt Geri's (Sp?).  We got to have pizza in downtown Disney with one of our favorite cousins we never see, Kristy and her boyfriend. We also drove a few hours to check out a small town Vineyard... but apparently it's not  Winery  season in December!  Go figure! lol.  Thanks to Caitlin and Josh for your hospitality!  We hope to visit again!  It was a truly busy trip!  We had so much fun, but were worn out and missed our puppy and our bed.  It was the first vacation we have had in a loooooong time!  We were long over due for a vacation.  We look forward to our next one.
